Associations of the TyG index with albuminuria and chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Diabetes-related kidney disease reduces patients' quality of life, increases the risk of death, and is associated with insulin resistance (IR). The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and inexpensive alternative to IR measurement. Furthermore, the relationship between albuminuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association of TyG index with albuminuria and CKD in patients with T2DM.

Methods

Data from 01/2013-12/2017 period were obtained from the Population Health Data Archive's Diabetes Complications Data Set. A total of 1048 patients with T2DM were included in this study. CKD is defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min-1.1.73 m-2 or a urinary
